Navajo Tacos
I think you might all have this recipe but I made them tonight and I love them....so I am going to post it :)
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
crisco or oil for frying
Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and warm water till all the flour is incorporated. Put dough on a VERY floured surface. Pull off pieces and flatten pretty thin (I am bad at estimating how thin so I don't know how to describe how thin). The dough is sticky so use extra flour to keep from sticking to your hands and work surface (it will still stick though). Heat the crisco/oil, to see whether it is ready I throw a tiny piece of dough in and see if it sizzles. Make round pancake type patties till the dough is used up and fry one at a time. Fry till it is starting to brown. I usually fry for a minute and flip and then maybe flip again. Make sure there is enough oil to cover the bread. Lay fried navajos on a paper towel on a plate.
These are open faced fry bread that puffs up when you throw it in the hot oil. Top with refrieds, meat, lettuce, cheese, salsa, chili....whatever sounds good to you. They are also known to be delicious warmed up with a little butter and honey.

Yum! I didn't have this recipe from ya, so I'm glad you posted it! Thank you! :)
I think this was the first college-acquired recipe for me! I love 'em!
They are yummy. Hey Allison, any luck on getting to the island anytime soon? I was going to mention to you that there is a HUGE outlet center over here in Mercedes. I guess it is for all of the Mexican nationals. Anyway if you are wanting to do some major baby shopping you might want to look them up and see if there are any stores...I guess I could just email you....
